Donald Trump is officially on a roll, and it appears he’s unwrapping another Christmas gift for conservative America—defunding the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, better known as UNRWA. This isn’t just any funding cut; it’s a strategic blow to an organization that many allege has cozy ties with Hamas. President Trump is making good on yet another hefty campaign promise, and the left is undoubtedly calling for their safe spaces while he’s at it.
Meanwhile, Trump has taken the initiative to yank the United States out of the United Nations Human Rights Council, an organization that has been less about human rights and more about letting dictators air out their dirty laundry while taking shots at Israel and the U.S. It’s like letting the class bully oversee recess because he claims to promote peace. The council has long been accused of playing favorites, and this is a refreshing change of pace under Trump’s leadership.
NOW: President Trump has just signed the executive order pulling out of the dictator-dominated U.N. Human Rights Council and permanently barring funding for terrorist-infested UNRWA. Here's why: 👇🧵 pic.twitter.com/RUD39cjuGg

This round of executive orders, timed with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to Washington, suggests a well-planned move rather than an impulsive decision. Politico has reported that Trump made sure to sign these orders just as Netanyahu was on U.S. soil—probably a message that Israel isn’t in this alone and that the tides are shifting back in favor of those who stand strong against terrorism. It’s hard to argue against the timing when it aligns with pushing back against organizations that have not only failed in their stated missions but have actively contributed to violence against Israel.
The Biden administration, on the other hand, decided to pause funding to UNRWA after it became clear that some of its staff might have been involved in terrorist activities, particularly during the October 7th Hamas attack. Perhaps there’s a glimmer of a realization that funding groups tied to terrorism isn’t a smart move—although many are skeptical about their sincerity. The Israeli government already made it abundantly clear that any financial support to UNRWA could easily end up as funding for Hamas, reinforcing the growing consensus that it’s time to send UNRWA packing.
Social media is ablaze over these developments, with users expressing a mix of delight and disbelief at the rapid-fire victories coming from Trump’s administration. Comments praising Trump’s executive order as a significant step toward protecting U.S. interests while cutting ties with terror funding are pouring in. It seems the conservative base is not only staying engaged but is also thrilled to see Trump putting America and its allies first, leaving the policies of the previous administration in the rear-view mirror.
If this is a glimpse of Trump’s plans moving forward, it looks like conservative Americans have much to look forward to—and it’s anyone’s guess what other moves the former President will unveil next. The momentum is real, and its effects on foreign policy as well as domestic support could be significant.
